Under the Victorian government rebate for hot water systems, eligible households can claim a 50% discount on the cost of the hot water system up to a maximum rebate of $1000.

The discount applies to electric boosted solar hot water and heat pump systems that are on the Solar Victoria approved product list when installed through a Solar Victoria authorised hot water retailer like Ultima Energy Melbourne. The hot water rebate is not available for newly built homes but for homes with existing hot water systems that are at least three years old.
